Everything about Sir Thomas Dyke Acland 10th Baronet totally explained
Sir Thomas Dyke Acland, 10th Baronet (
29 March 1787 –
22 July 1871),
British politician, was born in
London, the eldest son of
Sir Thomas Dyke Acland, 9th Baronet. The Aclands were an old
Devonshire family and successive generations of the family sat in the
House of Commons for the county. He was educated at
Oxford University where he gained a Doctor of Civil Laws degree. Although the Aclands were usually associated with the
Liberal Party, this Acland was a
Conservative. He sat for
Devonshire from 1812 to 1818 and again from 1820 to 1831. He then sat for
North Devon from 1837 to 1857.
His family had extensive properties on what is now the
Holnicote Estate and particularly the village of
Selworthy.
Among his many business interests Acland was the owner of a
schooner called
The Lady of St Kilda, which he bought in 1834. In 1842 the schooner visited the township of
Melbourne in
Australia, which had been founded in 1835. As a result of that visit, the suburb of
St Kilda was named for the ship, and
Acland St, one of St Kilda's main commercial centres, was named after Acland.
